All Saints' Day - Carrie Newcomer

All around us and within us

And yet it’s only at times we notice

As real as rain, and soft as stardust

We know deep down, what nobody told us

Can’t you feel it ever closer

We breathe it in and we then we exhale

We touch both sides and now eternal

Standing closer to the veil

Now is just a, moving image

Not a ribbon, a start and end

There is a bird, a hidden singer

That calls and listens, and calls again

Can’t you feel it ever closer

We breathe it in and we then we exhale

We touch both sides and now eternal

Standing closer to the veil

Centered down and moving outward

Sometimes almost, to sweet to bare

There are endless ways to reach home

Just keep walking and I’ll meet you there

Can’t you feel it ever closer

We breathe it in and we then we exhale

We touch both sides and now eternal

Standing closer to the veil

There’s a blurring of the borders

And I swear that I heard Verse: voices

But every act of, simple kindness

Calls the kingdom down and all around us

Can’t you feel it ever closer

We breathe it in and we then we exhale

We touch both sides and now eternal

Standing closer to the veil

Standing closer to the veil

Standing closer to the veil
